Hello.
I have an application where I need the user to be able to add items to a
listbox. I've implemented this via javascript. The listbox is an
<asp:ListBox> . However, when the user submits the form those items do not
get posted. My listbox.Items.C ount always returns 0.
I want the user to be able to add items without having to resort to a
postback, hence the javascript. But I need to be able to access those items
in the code behind page as well. Any thoughts on how this is best achieved?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think that can happen. When you populate a listbox on the server,
all that stuff is stored via viewstate (which is how the listbox stays
populated after a postback). Since you can't hack the viewstate, I don't see
how you could keep the listbox populated, other then passing the items that
should go in it as a list in a hidden input or something, and manually
populating on the server.

That is really unfortunate. To put the application into context, the
application is allowing a logged in user to add new employees. The listbox
is a list of degrees that the employee may have. You can create new
employees, edit employees and delete employees. As such, the degrees listbox
needs to be able to insert/remove degrees. I really wanted to avoid using a
postback because it looks unprofessional, it should appear that the form is
only posted once. Also, and this is the worst part, when the page does a
postback after adding an item to the listbox, the page resets so we are now
at the top of the page. Since this is a very long form, the user is forced
to scroll back down to the bottom of the page.
If there was at least a solution to resume in the same location as before
the postback, then that might be acceptable.
Thanks for replying so quickly.

Imagine two ListBox controls denoting something like students and team

asp.net 3.5 (project upgraded from asp.net 2.0).
are using vwd2008 express now
This is my first ajax attempt. The code below shows a TextBox and a ListBox.
The idea I was trying to accomplish was that the items in the ListBox was
automatically filtered as the user type text into the textbox... But nothing
happens. The OnTextChanged event isn't even fired when I type in the
textbox.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
